RUSH: This National Enquirer story, John Edwards' lovechild, I've been having trouble with this. I'm not sure I buy this. But I think I understand why the story hit last night.

RUSH: The energy bill. What a disaster. It's just an absolute disaster. "Energy Bill Boosts Fuel-Economy Standards -- One-hundred watt lightbulbs to vanish," and you're going to get stickers on your car saying how much your carbon footprint is, what your emissions are.
